A county with 2.2 million residents has voted to study the option to secede from California and form a new US state.
Californians as a whole largely continued the Golden State trend of voting for progressive leaders and issues in November’s midterms, but voters in San Bernadino County, the fifth most populous in the state and the largest in the country by area, are so unsatisfied with the leadership at the state level that they voted to consider leaving the state, according to The Associated Press.
